I had already looked at my faces customizations and couldn't see anything usual
about them. Then I went ahead and reset all faces customization to defaults. No
change in this odd behavior. But....
Thank you, Jeff. Your note prompted me to return to this line of investigation.
I decided to just trash my customization file altogether as a test. Lo and
behold, that fixed the problem. I have to rebuild my customizations, but that
is a solvable problem. I still have no idea how this came about, why there was
nothing visible wrong with the settings, and why resetting them from within
Aquamacs didn't fix it. But, good enough!
Thank you, again.
